hashbrowns

Hashbrowns allows consistent color generation based on hashcodes. Simply create a Hashbrowns instance, and pass a hashcode to generateColor, and you will get the same color every time for the same hashcode. `This works especially well for string constants whose hashcodes are consistent across instances.
